Although many top talents have joined the Saudi Pro League, Rafael Leao is not interested in joining the SPL anytime soon. His remarks suggest he wishes to win the UEFA Champions League.

Rafael Leao is not interested in the SPL

Rafael Leao, the talented AC Milan star, has firmly declined the opportunity to join the Saudi Pro League. He made it clear that his priorities lie elsewhere. Leao is steadfast in his commitment to the Champions League and is not swayed by the lure of a hefty salary in the Gulf country. He has opted to stay in Italy with his focus firmly set on winning titles with AC Milan.

Leao’s decision stems from his belief that he has not yet achieved what he aspires to in his time in Italy. Having signed a new deal with AC Milan, he envisions his immediate future in the red and black stripes. While a move to Saudi Arabia may be contemplated later in his career, for now, Rafael Leao is not considering such a transfer anytime soon.

Teams have been chasing the forward for quite some time. Major European clubs wanted to make him their marquee signing but Leao has chosen to grow and develop with AC Milan. Accumulating 3 goals and 2 assists in Serie A so far, the Portuguese is looking to have another wonderful year with the Milan club.
